Hi mike that's the real trick the setup screen is invisible unless you use
OCR. have to keep fiddling with it I can't tell if I'm in a field of any
kind and can't tell where the user name field is and where the password
field is. going to have to work on it. think I partially got it once it
said Log in failed so at least I'm close.

If you find a checkbox or button or link, use the emulation of a mouse
left-click. If it looks like one should enter an edit box, try routing PC to
JAWS and see if you land on an edit box.
There are no settings to change. With the OCR engine, you get what you get.

Hi list members ken here. fiddled with the OCR to try to get my last FM
scrobbler working. got a question I can see where it says to enter a
password and such but how do you identify controls such as buttons or
checkboxes using OCR and how do you get into an edit field where a USER name
is required or a password? do I have to set a setting or settings first to
make it work right?

Message-ID: <4EB121C5.7070007 at gmail.com>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed
Hi gui talk. I made a change in Jaws and I don't know wear I did it at.
However, here is what happens. When I am reading a book, it reads normal
but it says the words rong. For example, it says addressee addr. However
when I go word by word, it says addressee. All of the cairactors are
there. So I'm also wondering will my key still work if I un-install
Jaws? Will I still have the full version or will my key no longer work.
Please let me know soon.
Thanks
Nicholas Bennett
